Florence Where Art Thou? Florence where art thou? Florence itself is like a work of art- from the beautiful architecture to the outdoor statues and spaces. You will fall in love with the city and be spoilt by its aesthetics- all of which are free to enjoy. If you’re an art lover Florence has many museums that you can visit whilst attending ICS 2017. Here are some suggestions for your visit: Renaissance Art Galleria degli Uffizi- The Uffizi Gallery’s collection includes priceless masterpieces and works of art in its over 45 museum halls. There are dozens of renaissance master pieces like Botticelli’s The birth of Venus and Primavera, Titans Venus of Urbino and Da Vinci’s Annunciation to name but a few. If you wish to while away an afternoon and love the renaissance period then this is the museum for you. Top tip- Book your tickets online to avoid the queues. Alternatively book a private tour to maximise your time at the museum. Palazzo Pitti- The palace houses several important museums- silver, costume, modern art and the Contini Bonacossi collection. You can purchase a ticket to view one collection or a full ticket that will allow you access to all exhibitions (excluding the Contini Bonacossi) depending upon the time you have available and your personal preferences. The Contini Bonacossi collection moved from the Uffizi Gallery in 1993 to the Palazzo due to a lack of space within the main museum, it includes many masterpieces by famous Tuscan artists, such as Cimabue, Agnolo Gaddi and Andrea del Castagno. As well as artwork by renowned European and Italian artists such as Francisco Goya and El Greco, Veronese, Tintoretto and Bernini. In particular, the collection includes the breath taking “Virgin Mary with Child and Saints” by Andrea del Castagno, the beautiful “Our Lady of the Snow” by Sassetta, and the finely detailed “St. Jerome” by Giovanni Bellini. Unfortunately, the collection is generally closed to the public because the museum has a shortage of staff. However, the Uffizi Gallery generally offers special free guided visits a few times each year to offer visitors a chance to admire the collection’s masterpieces. Notice of these special openings are given on the “News” section of their website. Top tip- The best time to visit is 1st thing in the morning or just before lunch. Modern art If contemporary or modern art is your thing then Florence has a number of museums for you! Visit the Palazzo Strozzi museum, the Accademia, Museo Marino Marini, and the Palazzo Vecchio. All these museums often present contemporary exhibitions temporarily displayed alongside their historic collections to attract a wider audience, so be on the lookout for these special opportunities. Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi- Since its inception, the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi has clearly declared its mission to be ‘not just exhibitions’. The Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi uses its exhibitions to create exciting new ways for tourists and citizens alike to explore the city, the county and the entire region of Tuscany. These innovative programmes include special itineraries, guided visits to the studios of contemporary artists, travelling street theatre performances and international conferences. The main ‘laboratory’ is the Palazzo Strozzi, but the experiments happen throughout the city and beyond. Top tip- This isn’t a touristy museum so queues are likely to be minimal, but if you want to ensure you avoid a queue then the best time to go is after lunch. Aria Art Gallery- The gallery was established in 2009 in the heart of the city. An antique tropical garden leads to the exhibition space. There are 3 rooms that compose the exhibition space, the shows are wide ranging. Past exhibitions have included Auguste Rodin, Amedeo Modigliani and Andy Warhol. Top tip- Make sure you check the opening hours, often Monday If you are arriving before the ICS meeting then you could visit some of the above museums for free! All of Italy’s state museums offer free entrance to everyone on the first Sunday of every month!! A list of these museums is available to view here. Free Art If you prefer to view art in a more informal setting, without the cover charge or you just don’t fancy being stuck indoors then visit the Piazza della Signoria. It offers the greatest amount of free art in one location. View the fountain of Neptune, a replica of David and a range of statues in bronze, marble and limestone. Top Tip- Some of the best art can be found in churches throughout the city. If you see an open church go in! Due to the religious history in Italy, a lot of Italy’s many art and architectural masterpieces can be found hidden in churches. Also keep an eye out for street artist Clet’s (the Florentine version of Banksy) work around Florence. Clet is known for his work altering street signs, turning them into a work of art whilst still maintaining their official purpose. An example of Clet’s work If you like his work then why not visit his studio in San Niccolò (Via dell’Olmo, 8/red, Florence) where you can purchase some of his designs!?! This would be a fantastic memento of your time in Florence and a must for any street artist fans.

  • The Last Supper Seen Six Ways by Louis Inturrisi the New York Times, March 23, 1997
    1 Andrea del Castagno’s Last Supper, in a former convent refectory that is now a museum. The Last Supper Seen Six Ways By Louis Inturrisi The New York Times, March 23, 1997 When I was 9 years old, I painted the Last Supper. I did it on the dining room table at our home in Connecticut on Saturday afternoon while my mother ironed clothes and hummed along with the Texaco. Metropolitan Operative radio broadcast. It took me three months to paint the Last Supper, but when I finished and hung it on my mother's bedroom wall, she assured me .it looked just like Leonardo da Vinci's painting. It was supposed to. You can't go very wrong with a paint-by-numbers picture, and even though I didn't always stay within the lines and sometimes got the colors wrong, the experience left me with a profound respect for Leonardo's achievement and a lingering attachment to the genre. So last year, when the Florence Tourist Bureau published a list of frescoes of the Last Supper that are open to the public, I was immediately on their track. I had seen several of them, but never in sequence. During the Middle Ages the ultima cena—the final supper Christ shared with His disciples before His arrest and crucifixion—was part of any fresco cycle that told His life story. But in the 15th century the Last Supper began to appear independently, especially in the refectories, or dining halls, of the convents and monasteries of the religious orders founded during the Middle Ages.

  • 1 Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the Universi
    Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Visual Culture In March 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature)…………………………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract The church of Santo Spirito in Florence is universally accepted as one of the architectural works of Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446). It is nevertheless surprising that contrary to such buildings as San Lorenzo or the Old Sacristy, the church has received relatively little scholarly attention. Most scholarship continues to rely upon the testimony of Brunelleschi’s earliest biographer, Antonio di Tuccio Manetti, to establish an administrative and artistic initiation date for the project in the middle of Brunelleschi’s career, around 1428. Through an exhaustive analysis of the biographer’s account, and subsequent comparison to the extant documentary evidence from the period, I have been able to establish that construction actually began at a considerably later date, around 1440. It is specifically during the two and half decades after Brunelleschi’s death in 1446 that very little is known about the proceedings of the project. A largely unpublished archival source which records the machinations of the Opera (works committee) of Santo Spirito from 1446-1461, sheds considerable light on the progress of construction during this period, as well as on the role of the Opera in the realization of the church.

  • Passaporto Per Denaro E Bellezza Passport to Money and Beauty Passaporto Per Denaro E Bellezza
    PASSAPORTO PER DENARO E BELLEZZA PASSPORT TO MONEY AND BEAUTY PASSAPORTO PER DENARO E BELLEZZA Le banche rappresentano una parte talmente importante del mondo moderno che è impossibile immaginarlo senza di esse; tuttavia sono un’invenzione relativamente recente, nata dalla crescente mobilità e dal commercio sviluppatosi a partire dalla fne del XII secolo. Le grandi famiglie toscane di mercanti-banchieri – Bardi, Peruzzi e, molto più tardi i Medici – hanno lasciato durevoli testimonianze del proprio talento in campo fnanziario, non solo accumulando enormi fortune, ma traducendole in opere d’arte che sono divenute parte del patrimonio culturale mondiale. La più antica banca al mondo ancora operante – il Monte dei Paschi – fu fondata a Siena nel 1472, solo 25 anni prima dei “roghi delle vanità” del predicatore integralista Savonarola, per i quali i forentini consegnarono per essere bruciate le “cose vane” preziose come gioielli, specchi e opere d’arte possedute. Denaro e Bellezza. I banchieri, Botticelli e il rogo delle vanità non è una mostra su un singolo artista, sebbene si chiuda con molti dipinti di Botticelli e presti particolare attenzione all’infuenza esercitata su di lui da Savonarola. È qualcosa di anche più interessante: una mostra sulla nascita in Toscana del moderno sistema bancario. James M. Bradburne PASSPORT TO MONEY AND BEAUTY Banks are such an important part of the modern world that it is almost impossible to imagine the world without them. Nevertheless, banks are a relatively recent invention, born from increased mobility and growing European trade in the late 12th century. The great Tuscan banking families—the Bardi, the Peruzzi, and of course much later, the Medici—created lasting monuments to their fnancial ingenuity, not only by amassing vast fortunes, but by translating those fortunes into the works of art that have become a part of the world’s cultural heritage.

AMANDA GRIEVE ART 3130 The Scientific Narrative of Leonardo’s Last Supper AMANDA GRIEVE ART 3130: Leonardo da Vinci, Fall 2017 Nominated by: Dr. Caroline Hillard Amanda Grieve is a senior at Wright State University and is pursuing a BFA with a focus on Studio Painting. She received her Associates degree in Visual Communications from Sinclair Community College in 2007. Amanda notes: I knew Leonardo was an incredible artist, but what became obvious after researching and learning more about the man himself, is that he was a great thinker and intellectual. I believe those aspects of his personality greatly influenced his art and, in large part, made his work revolutionary for his time. Dr. Hillard notes: This paper presents a clear and original thesis about Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper that incorporates important scholarly research and Leonardo’s own writings. The literature on Leonardo is extensive, yet the author has identified key studies and distilled their essential contributions with ease.

  • The Extraordinary Imagery of Andrea Del Castagno's Vision of St. Jerome Has Never Been Completely Explained. Painted for the C
    A NEW SOURCE FOR ANDREA DEL CASTAGNO’S VISION OF ST. JEROME* ADRIENNE DEANGELIS The extraordinary imagery of Andrea del Castagno’s Vision of St. Jerome has never been completely explained. Painted for the chapel of Girolamo Corboli in Santissima Annunziata in Florence, the fresco altarpiece is traditionally dated to about 1454–1455. The saint, nearly nude in his torn gown, stands with one hand clutching the bloody stone with which he has been beating his breast in an act of penitence. His arms flung wide from his body, he seems to have been stopped in his act of self-flagellation by the vision above his head: a severely foreshortened crucified Christ supported by God the Father, under whose chin floats the dove of the Holy Spirit. The members of the Trinity shown in this manner form the Gnadenstuhl, the Throne of Mercy.1 Even the lion beside him seems to share in St. Jerome’s experience. Its head thrown back at the same angle, its mouth is opened in an outcry that in its animalistic response suggests less an understanding of the vision above than a reflexive imitation of its master’s transported state.2 Flanking the saint are two heavily draped female figures who also look up at this extraordinary depiction of the Trinity. The expression of St. Jerome and the placement of the Gnadenstuhl as emerging from behind his head, as if out of the sky and into the viewer’s worldly space, implies that St. Jerome’s penitential self-flagellation has been so compelling that he has re-evoked his desert experiences of the Trinity for them to see.
